Woodland Nymph

I'm here on behalf of <img class="avatar" src="a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/e/s…" alt="" title="SelfTaughtArtist"/> because your piece was in the group's critique requested folder.
Firstly, I would love to say how amazing a job you did with texture and contrast. I am blown away by how amazing the background turned out. I imagine it took quite some layering.
I also like the shading on the nymph (esp. where her colarbone and shoulder is). I would also like to say that your use of red in the shading of the skin added a great, dynamic effect to the whole image. The design on her legs are also very detailed and correspond well with the image (love the dots too).
One this i would like to note is the position of her legs. It seems as though she is both floating and leaning against something; which personally confuses me a bit. My suggestion would be to give her ground or at least position the body in a way to make it appear that she is truly floating/flying.
Otherwise, great work! Keep it up!
